Darwin's Pause

What's the catch?

Former war photographer Fin Campbell means to find out. He never believed his old college friend's elaborate stories to explain a pair of pristine civilizations living side by side on the isolated Polynesian island of Hoku. The entire island is designated a World Heritage Site and kept off limits by the French Navy.

When Fin receives a once in a lifetime opportunity to join his Hokutian friend to witness a private ceremony never seen by outsiders, he jumps at the chance.

Soon he becomes more than a mere observer and finds himself in a fight for his life and the survival of all Hoku.
